šŸš€ Hex: Data science, but with collaboration

Featuring how they use Notion to keep track of churn rates

NOTE: This is part 5 of our #NotionPartner series

Working with data can be a difficult process to navigate alone. But it doesnā€™t have to be. Todayā€™s startup Hex is transforming how data teams work and collaborate. And weā€™re exploring how they tackle churn rates with Notion.

āš¾ The Elevator Pitch

Thereā€™s a large population of people that are sort of analytically fluent. They might come from Excel or have worked with SQL, but may be missing some technical skills that can be resolved with one additional component ā€“ collaboration.

Simply put, Hex allows data teams to do more with data, together. From a collaboration standpoint, Hex allows members on a team to collaborate, share data and analyze it together. But theyā€™ve expanded to do so much more ā€“ from no code data analysis, killer visualizations, to AI-powered tools.

šŸ‘‡ The Drop Down

Founded: 2019

Traction: Raised $52m series B from a16z, Amplify partners, and other

Team: Barry McCardel (CEO), Caitlin Colgrove (CTO), Glen Takahashi (Chief Architect)

šŸ” Why we like it

  1. šŸ¤ Teamwork makes the dreamwork 

Collaboration and good synergy is at the core of any successful team or company. Countless tools exist for software teams to optimize collaboration. Yet itā€™s not nearly as accessible for data teams. Hex is transforming work for data teams across countless companies, making it a collaborative process.

  1. šŸ“– Thereā€™s a story behind every bit

When working with data, it can sometimes become easy to forget that thereā€™s a larger narrative behind the 0s and 1s youā€™re working with. Itā€™s not isolated and ties in with a larger story. Which is why itā€™s especially important that you can share it. Hex makes it possible for data teams to create interactive data stories, combining rich text, interactivity, and live visualizations.

  1. šŸ§ˆ This ainā€™t butter. Weā€™re not about the churn

Customers are at the core of every business. And Hex understands that. Nobody likes it when customers suddenly drop off, which is why Hex tackles churn rates with Notion. Check their churn rate Notion template here.
